I believe
that the Met have many thousands of hours of footage to wade through and once they have sufficient evidence of a particular person committing an offence the files goes to the CPS for an OK to charge.
With that amount of footage, the protestors tending to cover up faces so necessitating ID from various sources and angles it takes time to come up with the goods.
This lot aren't the first and they won't be the last.

It may have a perfectly valid explanation that doesn't incriminate the met, but still I believe there is more to this case.

Yes you can be charged with wasting Police time for making a false complaint, as the last person who complained about me found out
, but the main question is whether it is in the public interest to proceed with charges. In this occasion where the mother is obviously upset and made some comments I wouldn't say dragging her through the courts is necessary or proportionate.
